简介

于纽约土生土长的艺术家Joan Vennum以色彩鲜明的画作,探索空间的存在。作品同时揉合了抽象与具体的风格。她是以富梦幻感而充满修长与密集笔触的画作而著名的,创作选用了不同系列的色彩,描绘出无限的空间感,表达出幻想与自然世界交融着的效果。

Vennum曾于密苏里州圣路易斯华盛顿大学学习绘画,其后于伊利诺大学香槟分校取得美术硕士学位。创作的主要灵感来自Mondrian、de Kooning,特别是荷兰大师们对空间的运用及微小细节的留意。 Vennum的艺术观感从她的早期发展中两大事件受到最重要的影响。儿时,Vennum已被纽约天文馆的太空模拟及神秘浩瀚的宇宙所迷住。成长后,一次西西里岛之行令她了解天气对环境的影响、地​​平线上不同元素的结合,及海洋奇观。于是,Vennum的作品选择以简单的方式,着重表面细节,以表现出各元素的活力及太空的浩瀚。如Vennum所说:「以最简单的视觉形式来表达较大,复杂的概念是我的目标。」

Vennum运用密集点画、划痕及标记的方式,将朱红色、蓝色或乳白色涂上矩形或圆形画布,洽似跟随脉博的跳动。表层的颜色像暴雨一样以倾斜的角度混合,浅色的笔触逐渐融入深色,暗示出宇宙的深度。画面上的线条与颜色创作出三维的空间,而此创作过程亦构成充满光线,优雅华丽的朦胧空间。

正如诗人及艺术史学家Corrine Robins所说,Vennum的作品「注重宇宙中各元素及呼吸上的平衡、短暂的停顿,及色彩与光线的自然性质。」虽然作为一位抽象艺术家,她是受到后抽象表现派女画家如Lee Krasner及Joan Mitchell等所影响的,她对表面细节的注重促使了一系列充满活力而独特的创作。 Vennum曾表示:「我的创作建立于抽象表现主义,是自我发现的过程,而且透过冥想开始。东方哲学清楚指出一切原始的概念只能从清晰的状态发展…只要有耐心,总有发现自己方向的时刻。」

Joan Vennum的作品是纽约布鲁克林美术馆、澳洲悉尼现代艺术博物馆、瑞典乌特什贝里艺术博物馆、斯德哥尔摩斯堪亚公共保险有限公司,及意大利塔韦尔纳民间博物馆的永久收藏品。

Lee Waisler - About Faces March 2011

For his second solo exhibition in Hong Kong, California-based American painter Lee Waisler presents a series of moving portraits of historical and contemporary figures. Having practiced abstraction for decades, Waisler returned to figuration full-force six years ago, making what he calls "dimensional portraits," combining strips of wood and blocks of color to create nuanced faces and figures.

Preview: Here and Now at Sundaram Tagore Gallery March 2009

Art historian Sundaram Tagore's doctoral thesis looks at Indian artists' response to European modernisation from the 1940s to 1980s. As a curator, however, his focus is more on the here and now. Hence the title of his gallery's latest group exhibition by 18 international artists, which opens today at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery's Hong Kong branch.
